The Graduate Student Advisor (GSA) is an experimental expert system that advises graduate students in systems analysis. It simulates a faculty advisor in suggesting the schedule of courses a student should take based on ...

Graphical programming has been used in conjunction with
conventional simulation languages via block diagrams or activity
networks. Its beneficial effects on programming and modeling in
simulation have been accepted by ...

A forms-based development environment for writing manufacturing
workcell programs is described. The environment is a Microsoft Windows application that allows a programmer to describe a sequence of operations and associated ...

Information Retrieval (IR), which is also known as text or document retrieval, is the process of locating and retrieving docri)nents that are relevant to the user queries. In

The concerns of this Master degree project are the implementations of an expert system development environment and an application to manufacturing. The environment is given the
name of IDEA (Integrated expert system ...

The effectiveness of software development tools can be dr
creased by their integration (i.e. their cooperation). This paper discusses the problems to be overcome in integration of tools, and a categorization of the degree ...

Although simulation is a very flexible and cost effective problem solving technique, it has been traditionally limited to building models which are merely descriptive of the system under study. Relatively new approaches ...

AutoGrader is a framework developed at Miami University for the automatic grading of student programming assignments written in the Java programming language. AutoGrader leverages the abstract concept of interfaces, brought ...

This paper is an investigation of alternative programming languages for use in manufacturing control applications. After reviewing several types of languages, two alternative languages for programming the flexible manufacturing ...

Expert systems are proliferating in many situations in which it is important to capture expertise in a computer system. This type of system is useful in situations in which human expertise
is expensive or difficult to ...
